Samsung intros 19-inch SyncMaster 931BW LCD monitor

Samsung's latest 19-inch LCD monitor is about as ho hum as they come, but its got a stylistic flair (okay, so we're suckers for that silver accent) that makes us want one anyway. The SyncMaster 931BW sports a 16:10 widescreen panel, WXGA+ (1,440 x 900) resolution, a 2,000:1 contrast ratio, 300 cd/m2 brightness, 170-degree viewing angles and a lightning-quick two-millisecond response time. You'll also find an HDCP-compliant DVI port alongside the obligatory VGA input, and while pricing details don't seem to be readily available, it should be hitting Japanese shops late next month.

UPDATE: Seems like this thing has made the rounds in certain locales -- guess it's just about Japan's turn.
